GLEN OF IMAAL WELSH KENNEL CLUB 09 Judge: Mr R Wright GLEN OF IMAAL JUDGE WELSH KC 09 Glen of Imaal Terriers Having only started judging the breed in 1983 it was a real pleasure to award CCs for the first time. PD (1) 1 Hardy’s Amhard Freebooter, 6 months, of good quality, good strong head, eye, bite & teeth, good topline, nicely ribbed with defined quarters, moved & showed. BP. JD (2,1a) 1 Brown’s Jeonty Dinky Doughnut, good overall wheaten, decent head, excels in fore, good topline. Coat a bit woolly & straight in stifle. Sound & showy. PGD (4) 1 Ashcroft’s Romainville Typhoon, nice enough, outgoing, good head, eye, bite, good layback, well ribbed, good coat texture. A little flat in topline. Moved soundly; 2 Garner’s Johnny Be Good at Romainville, wheaten, decent quality all through. A little flat in topline, short of coat but what’s there is good, well muscled. Moved a touch close in hind; 3 Barnes’ Brockland Blackadder at Malsville. LD (1) 1 Hardy’s Amhard Damson Sauce, much quality & good type, in excellent coat & condition, well headed, A1 layback, good topline, body & rib. A touch straight in stifle. Moved OK. OD (3,1) 1 Just like buses, you wait ages for one & then two come together. Both these deserved to win. 1 Rogers’ Ch/Dutch/Bel Ch Jeonty Wannabe Buster, top quality wheaten of type with substance & fluidity, immaculately presented, in good coat & hard condition, moving very well covering some ground. CC & BOB; 2 Welch’s Bel Ch Brockland Brayhead Lad, very close up with little to choose between them. This one is just as full of quality & attributes as the other & presented just as well. Splitting hairs, the decision came down to the winner being so strong & true in hind. RCC. PB (1) Hardy’s Amhard Feeling So Cool, absolutely raw baby, sister to BP, lots to like & promising, excellent forehand, good angulation & coat texture. Erratic but sound. JB (2) 1 Potts’ Theholt Tara, very nice sort, much to like, A1 front & fore, good ribbing, body & coat, well defined quarters. Sound but sluggish, owner needs to wake up to the reality of showing a dog to effect; 2 Whelan’s Brandy Babe, average wheaten, perhaps time will improve. PGB (2) 1 George & Sullivan’s Romainville Ali Oop, well constructed, typy wheaten who could go on from here with attention to detail. Overweight & in her underclothes. Moved well; 2 Hadley’s Donvaleset Domino, lots to like in construction though hind is not her fortune. Could be trimmed a little to great effect, sound but close in hind. LB (2,1) 1 George & Sullivan’s Romainville Miss Moneypenny, decent wheaten, good head properties, OK fore, good ribbing. No top coat. Moved soundly. OB (3,1) 1 Rogers’ Jeonty Fern Grass, top quality wheaten, balanced all through, good head, excels in front & overall forehand, strong neck, well ribbed, good body, firm flexible loin, defined quarters, good muscletone all through, excellent coat & condition, moved & showed very well. CC; 2 Hardy’s Amhard Cut And Come Again, close up & pleased overall with much quality. Not the condition or hind movement of 1 but a very nice sort. RCC. ROGER WRIGHT |
